WTF is a bloody stock symbol doing in a/. summary?
But when Time Warner's (nyse: TWX -- news -- people ) Warner Bros. studio accused them...
It's annoying enough to trip over them when reading mainstream US news sites. Can we please keep them away from Slashdot? If I need the stock symbol for a company I either already know it because I'm an investor and it's my job to be elbow-deep in such arcana, or I can Google for it. If you really want to add it, use a bloody hyperlink instead of making the text unreadable with parenthesised shit.
About 10 years ago I spent some time working for a defence contractor. My work didn't involve any classified material, but they did a pretty thorough background check anyway, including an investigation by the BVD (Dutch secret service). But they didn't fingerprint me!
It wasn't political pressure. The bags came with an attached note that read:
Achtung! Alles Lookenspeepers! Das Papier ist nicht fur gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy Blackmailen der Ex-Commies, Embarraseren der Politiker und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fur gewerken bei das dumpkopfen. Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen hans in das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten.
Needless to say, the Fraunhofer people have taken a while to muster the courage to start the project.
1. is it 'ultra' enough to be completely inaudible? I've had some experience with ultrasonic devices for cleaning etc. and they are unbearable to be around due to the high-pitched shriek they emit. To be fair, this is at much higher power levels than this pen will use.
2. Ultrasonics can be quite destructive, both on the laptop screen and on the bones in your hand (again, more of a problem at high power levels).
Ah yes, I had one of those too. The upgrade from 16 to 48 kB involved inserting the 8 memory chips, plus 4 others to control the extra memory. One of those control chips had to be hacked (one pin removed, and the adjacent pin bent to fit in the 'wrong' socket). Thankfully a friendly neighborhood nerd helped me out with that one (I was something like 14 yo at the time, had no idea the upgrade would be this complicated).
Klingon multitasking systems do not support "time-sharing". When a Klingon program wants to run, it challenges the scheduler in hand-to-hand combat and owns the machine.
If you're going to follow Moseic law, you'd better follow all of it. Not interested in becoming a Jew? Then you might be interested to know the rules changed about 2k years ago:
"But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."" John 8:7
Have you ever noticed that lots of people have their widescreen TVs set to stretch 4:3 content to fit the screen? Apparently they prefer this horribly distorted content to having black bars. That, or they're too oblivious to notice. Maybe the TV manufacturers are catering to the lowest common denominator. I, for one, will go look for a TV that can display 1280x720 content without scaling.
Flash has been on the market for years, including all sorts of bloody annoying misfeatures, and with determined Linux non-support. And yet, there's only one half-credible alternative (Gnash) and even that is pre-1.0. I suspect that "pretty soon" is wildly optimistic.
...looks back at the dawn of videogaming, when we were all kids just typing in our games, one line of BASIC at a time
Why, back in my day, we used to have to enter our games as opcodes in binary, using toggle switches, and our 'screen' was a set of Blinkenlights, and we liked it that way. Whippersnappers.

Mamalian glands (I love that word - glands) start around the armpit.
No they don't. Mammary glands, OTOH...

Playing on my iPod while reading this thread: "Professional pirate" (from the movie 'Muppet Treasure Island', produced by... Disney Pictures).
Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
I say we're victims of bad press it's all exaggerated

We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat

Bah. In my day, we only had two rocks to bang together, and I had to share those with my sister so we had one rock each.
My stack just overflowed, you insensitive clod!
It seems the excrement has hit the airconditioning.

Or wanted to save your data reliably in which case the one with the disk drive was better (the microdrive didn't count, or for that matter the C2N).
Actually, disk drives (both 5.25" and then-newfangled 3.5") were available for the Spectrum. Just not from Sinclair.

Your plan lacks ambition. Try starting in Tierra del Fuego and ending up in Johannesburg.

Would such a front-end be able to circumvent things like DRM?
